when i see them sending us a team that is all male except one woman who gets into the team because of our dei demands i pre-book her for working on issues that fall into my areas.

she is *always* about twice as good as the men in the group. no exceptions. i have never lost on that gamble.

da spørs det jo hva som er formålet med å lese boken. er det bare å sile ut de setningene som gjør at du består eksamen? da er jo kanskje en ai greit. men jeg synes jo at det å forstå mer enn bare de setningene er det som gjør at du blir bedre i faget enn en ai

finnes det "noen få viktige setninger" i faglitteratur? hele vitsen med å spesialisere seg, uansett fag, er å være god nok til å se viktigheten i all teksten. Det er jo det som skiller en faktisk ekspert fra "readers digest as a service"

one big problem is when people are really good at a few pieces of the tech stack and sell themselves in to management as experts when there are crucial bits of real enterprise configurations they do not understand at all.

my daughter has been using store bought habaneros for years. they do taste, and you do feel them. but... not what i expected out of habaneros from all the hype. then enter this little bush in a window sill. home grown habaneros. wow. the difference is actually incredible.
